Renewable resources? Recycling? What about simply learning to produce more quickly and efficiently? In a world where more than 75% of all industrial production requires the use of chemical catalysts\\, Chemistry offers an often overlooked means of cutting energy and waste costs. This is particularly true of major industries like refining\\, paper production\\, and others using high heat and pressure.
